Chromosome 7 short arm deletion and craniosynostosis. A 7p-syndrome

Hum Genet. 1976 Dec 29;35(1):117-23. doi: 10.1007/BF00295627.

Abstract

A patient with craniosynostosis and a small deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 7 is described. A review of the literature indicates that craniosynostosis has occurred in at least four of the five infants (the fifth having microcephaly) affected by structural changes (resulting in deletion) within the terminal region of the short arm of chromosome 7.
